this is perry peacock here with wilderness innovation and I know I think I've showed this a while ago might have been more than a year ago to know this is called the a pod setup I just like to say I can I consider this to be the most comfortable sleeping arrangement that we have and so and we're using free using three or four things here raising a one of our Poncho's PSS series pojos we're using one of our our survival blankets and also i'm using something you haven't seen before you may have seen it but i think ever talked about it and that is our poncho liner but this is not the fleece liner this is a lighter just just designed to go in the hammock just to be just to be a liner inside of there and the fourth thing possibly depending on your weather conditions at all is the fleece punch a liner in this setup you really you feel you're laying there you really feel nothing I mean there's no I always say if you feel any irritation in the first five minutes of when you laid out or something to bobby's whatever I mean you're going to notice that eventually it might keep you from sleeping it's still right here there is none of that I mean you're just absolutely comfortable alright so here's here's the basic setup right here on the outer layer well we've got is our personal survival blanket the large size i recommend it because you want to be long enough head to foot and you want to have enough material you want to have enough blanket because you're going all the way around up over the top and back down again you come up here i want to make sure on this end this end that I go all the way out I want to be all the way to the end I just come anywhere you know out along in here somewhere and I take this easy clip right here this is the MIDI the MIDI size not too small one and you just squeeze that clip in there until it clicks I want to get at least one click on it so it's engaged and you come down here to this in here and show that down click it and we're good to go basically now all you do is reach so you play it on the ground how you reach underneath and you pull it over the top we just gather up this blanket material down here put our shock cord on zip it down now now we're done now you don't have to do any more with the blanket if you don't want to if the weather is colder or extra windy or something it comes with two of those shock cords and what I will do is I'll do another one up here at the top so I would gather it right up here at the very top and do that one and then that seals that seals off any breeze coming into their everything is all sealed in okay so now you can see I'm in and and all idea is just if it's not windy conditions or whatever this is all I do i just take this thing and throw it over like that this other item here this is a this is a poncho liner it's not it's not like it's not the fleece liner that you've probably all seen slater that's in here is made in the very same way as the personal survival blanket that we wrapped around the outside it's very resilient very comfortable very warm and originally this they've actually used this thing for actually think think in April or May that'll be two years that I've used this but I made it made it OD green on the outside and orange on the inside as a kind of intention was it would be a signaling deal in case of trouble you could lay it out or something you know so this works really really well myself or number of others who've tried this thing I've never ever without fail everybody said they slept better than they've ever slept I had one guy he's always up at six and he put the first time he tried this he woke up a little bit out just shortly after eight o'clock I mean you get in this and you just sleep you sleep very very well one of the reasons that you wind up waking up on the middle of night is really common is to go to the bathroom and often times people do all kinds of things like not drinking anything for you know so many hours before they go to bed you know things like that which help and all that but nevertheless the more you toss and turn the night what you're doing till you're inside you're sloshing around inside of there and the more you turn and toss back and forth your sloshing around those fluids well ventually you get enough down then your bladder and you got to go to the bathroom if you can sleep to where you're so comfortable that you're just not

hardly moving around you're going to find that you rarely have to get up and go to the bathroom of them in the middle of the night anymore aight so are we what we did is we we made this up the same way as the poncho liner same way as the fleece liner made up which i have one right here it's got snaps on it those snaps match up with the snaps on your tarp I mean on your hammock so all you do is you put in here you just orient this you ask the match your head to foot arrangement on your on your poncho so the snaps line up once you've got that lined up you just come along here you snap these things up and I we tried doing it without the snaps but the problem is when you get into the hammock here without those on here that liner winds up sliding around and stuff like that then it's all bunched up everything this holds everything all spread out when you get in you can kind of spread it apart like this and that way it's wraps all the way around you the snaps just help it just makes it part of the hammock basically so that way you get in it's very comfortable these sides can wrap up around you and everything like that and you are good to go alright so the other deal is if you have colder weather then the easiest thing to do is just add the fleece lighter to all of this and I love to do that because a lot of times it's cooler at night I might be wearing this around a campfire and stuff at night kind of doing my whatever just kind of hanging around and then when i go to bed all i do i just leave this thing on and get into the get into the hammock and typically it's best if you at least snap up some of the lower snaps because ideally you want this thing to stay around your lower body i usually leave the

I usually leave the tops unsnapped the top part because I'll show you the minute I just do it like that something like that just to hold everything in place so here you can see your body's covered clear down to your shins you got some coverage here you can wear the hood and you can you can really be comfortable in some cooler temperatures with this and you know very nice and if you want to i often find oh that's why i don't snap these snaps up top here i'll take and pull my arms in there at night after i get situated and just lay my arms across my chest and now they're all inside and everything too so your hands are nice and toasty and everything's nice and warm then you just go off to sleep you're good to go so anyway is perry peacock wilderness innovation they're showing you some of the stuff we mess around with will uh will likely have this on our on our website prop it'll be its own item under shelter
